Jessica Jewell

Jessica Jewell is an Associate Professor at the Department of Geography, University of Bergen, Norway. Her research focuses on climate change mitigation, energy policy, and the feasibility of transitioning to low-carbon energy systems. She collaborates with institutions like The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Chalmers University of Technology.

Her work examines energy transitions, particularly coal phase-out strategies, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the socio-economic impacts of decarbonization. Key areas include analyzing historical energy technology diffusion, evaluating policy effectiveness, and addressing equity concerns in climate action.

Jewell contributes to global climate debates through publications in Nature Climate Change, Environmental Research Letters, and others. Her research highlights the challenges of aligning energy policies with 1.5°C or 2°C climate targets while considering political, economic, and technical feasibility.
